Abstract: An improved hot end glass container coating system comprises a conveyor for transporting hot glass containers, first and second pairs of spray coating units and exhaust units reversely opposed adjacent the sides of the conveyor, an air flow control unit and a coating liquid measuring and flow control unit.

Abstract: An apparatus for the direct cooling of a strand, especially during the continuous casting of steel, incorporating strand guide segments equipped with spray nozzles for the application of a cooling agent to the strand. The spray nozzles are arranged at rotatable holders, each holder is equipped with at least two nozzles. A drive mechanism is provided for the stepwise or incremental rotation of such holders and there are provided infeed means for delivering the cooling agent to the spray nozzles.

Abstract: This invention relates to a coating apparatus for coating the exterior of articles passing spray nozzles which are sequentially operated to prevent coating material from passing between adjacent articles. Each spray nozzle is operated to either apply a partial coating, a complete coating or several coatings to each article. The apparatus also includes timing screw and a turret conveyor which are rapidly stopped by means responsive to article jamming, and means are provided for facilitating the removal of jammed articles from a housing of the timing screw.

Abstract: An apparatus for coating a liquid on opposite sides of a flexible material, which is particularly suitable for use in applying a splicing cement to predetermined surface areas on obverse and reverse sides of a vehicle tire tread. The apparatus comprises in combination: first sheet conveying means for transferring a flexible sheet material through a first coating position; first liquid coating means located at the first sheet coating position for applying a coating liquid on a predetermined surface on an obverse side of the sheet material; second sheet conveying means for transferring the flexible sheet material through a second liquid coating position; second liquid coating means located at the second coating position for applying the coating liquid on predetermined surface on a reverse side of the sheet material; and turn-over means located between the first and second sheet conveying means for transferring the flexible sheet material upside-down from the first to the second sheet conveying means.

Abstract: An apparatus for forming a layer from a mixture of particles having variable particle sizes and including throwing rolls for casting the particulate mixture onto a flat support is further provided with a blower arranged to reverse the direction of horizontal movement of the particles as they fall onto the support by means of air flow.

Abstract: Hollow bodies, e.g. pipes, are coated with protective layers of a liquid or pulverulent material by electrostatic spraying and hardening in which the bodies are disposed horizontally and parallel to one another upon a chain conveyor and are automatically displaced transverse to their longitudinal axes. In a first stage the coating is provided on the hollow bodies exclusively of their end regions and in a second stage the coatings are applied to the end regions.

Abstract: Applying a coating composition onto a linearly advancing substrate from at least two spray guns which cyclically traverse the substrate in the direction perpendicular to the movement of the substrate, and which are spaced so as to satisfy the harmonic relationships between the speed of the advancing substrate, the frequency of the spray gun cycles and the spacing of the spray patterns at the surface of the advancing substrate, as defined by the following equation: ##EQU1## WHEREIN: S.sub.p = the spacing between the lines of intersection of the surface plane of the advancing substrate and the imaginary planes generated by the transversely moving axes of adjacent spray patterns, in inches;R.sub.s = substrate or ribbon speed, in inches per minute;N.sub.g = the number of spray guns;n = any positive or negative whole integer other than n=Ng or multiples of n=Ng; andF.sub.m = the cycle speed or frequency of reciprocation of the spray guns, in cycles per minute.

Abstract: Washing and release agent application mechanisms, including a structure defining a chamber into which a magazine of loaf molds may be driven for treating the surface of the molds, wherein the structure includes doors opening for permitting the ingress and egress of a magazine in the chamber and the mechanism includes fluid distributing nozzles on wands for entry within the molds and treating the interior surfaces thereof. The mold washing mechanism also includes a U-shaped header which traverses the outsides of the molds for washing the outside surfaces.

Abstract: An improved system for washing and coating metal can bodies, such as seamless aluminum and tin plate can bodies, in a can processing line wherein various can washing, coating and curing stations are arranged in a unique fashion along the line so as to utilize generally fully compatible washing and coating materials, the residues of which are adapted to be either recycled or discharged into a common waste disposal system, as well as an improved coated can body.
